The New
Testament lies hidden in the Old. The Old Testament is fulfilled in the
New... ***The Blessed Virgin
Mary lies hidden in the Old Testament, and she is revealed in the New
Testament...

Queens
in the Old Testament were the mothers of the kings,
not the wives...

The
Davidic Kingdom was fulfilled in the Messianic
Reign...

1Kings 2:12-20,(12) When
Solomon was seated on the throne of his father David, with his sovereignty
firmly established, (13) Adonijah, son of haggith,
went to Bathsheba, the mother of
Solomon. "Do you come as a friend?" she asked. "Yes,"
he answered, (14) and
added, "I have something to say to you." She replied, "Say it." (15) So he said "You know that the
kingdom was mine, and all Israel expected me to be king. But the kingdom escaped
me and became my brother's, for the Lord gave it to him. (16) But now there is one favor I would
ask of you. Do not refuse me." And she said, "Speak on." (17) He said, "Please ask King Solomon,
WHO WILL NOT REFUSE YOU,
to give me Abishag the Shunamite for my wife." (18)
"Very well", replied Bathsheba, "I will speak to the king
for you."(19) Then
Bathsheba went to King
Solomon to speak to him for Adonijah, and THE KING
STOOD UP TO MEET HER AND PAID HER HOMAGE. Then he sat
down on his throne, AND A THRONE WAS PROVIDED FOR THE KINGS
MOTHER, WHO SAT AT HIS RIGHT. (20) "There is one small favor I would ask of you," she said.
"DO NOT REFUSE ME." "ASK IT, MY MOTHER," the king said to her, "FOR I WILL NOT
REFUSE YOU."

Elucidation:

1. Adonijah knows the King will not
refuse the Queens request, vs 172. Queens and Kings sit
on thrones, vs 19.3. Kings stand and pay homage to Queens, keeping the 4th
commandment to honor your father and mother, vs 19.4. Solomon, not even
knowing his mother's request, will not refuse her, vs 20.5. Would Jesus
Christ, the King of Kings, refuse a request by His mother, the Queen of
Heaven?

me according to your word."

Elucidation:

Luke, is a very unusual event. It is the 'sign'.3. Mary, in perfect
obedience to the Lord, gave her consent.

servants and handmaids, in those days, I will pour out My Spirit."

when the angel had come to her, he said, "Hail full of grace, the Lord is with

Elucidation:

1. Isaiah
prophesies that a virgin shall give birth to a son. 2. 'Handmaid' is
mentioned only once in the N.T. in Lk 1:38. 3. 'Handmaid' is mentioned over
40 times in the O.T.. In Joel 3:2 (2:29 in some other Bibles), the Holy
Spirit is poured out over handmaids. 4. The Holy Spirit overshadows the
Virgin Mary, the handmaid of the Lord. 5. Ezekial confirms Isaiah's
prophesy, and those verses also refer to her perpetual virginity. 6.
Songs 4 attests also to the perpetual virginity of Mary.7. In Wisdom 9:5,
Solomon affirms that his mother, the Queen, is the handmaid of the Lord.
Mary, the Queen, and the Mother of GOD, is also the handmaid of the
Lord.8. Exodus 2:5, Moses, who prefigures Christ, is rescued by a handmaid.
Later all of Israel is rescued by Moses. 9. Judith, the handmaid, saves
all Israel from invasion by the Assyrians, and she is
portrayed as the 'Defender of Israel'.10. The seed of the woman will
strike at the head of the serpent who is satan.11. Judith struck the head of
the 'leader of our enemies', a title and type of the
serpent, satan.12. Judith and Mary, both, are blessed by GOD and elevated
above all other women.

curtain veil, thus screening off the Ark...(34) Then

the dwelling."

Luke 1:35, "...the Holy Spirit shall come upon you
and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you; and therefore the Holy One
to be born shall be called the Son of GOD."

Elucidation:

1. The
word, 'overshadow', used in Luke, is the same as the verb, 'covered', used
in Exodus, to describe how the Lord 'filled' the tabernacle. 2. The Ark of
the Covenant contained manna (food), the rod of Aaron (power), and the Ten
Commandments (the Word). 3. Mary carried the Word of GOD, the Power of GOD,
and the Bread come down from heaven.

2Samuel 6:9, "And David was
afraid of the Lord that day, saying, How shall the Ark of the Lord come to me?"

Luke 1:43, "And how have I deserved that the mother of my Lord
should come to me?"

Elucidation:

1. In 2Sam, David asked
regarding the Ark which contained the Word of GOD written on stone tablets.
2. In Luke 1, Elizabeth asked regarding the new Ark which contained
the Word of GOD in the womb of Mary.

2Samuel 6:12-14, "...David went
and brought away the Ark of GOD...into the city of David with joy....And David
danced with all his might before the Lord."

Elucidation:

Covenant containing the Word of GOD written on stone tablets. 2. St. John
the Baptist, lept in the womb of his mother Elizabeth, as he was before the
New Ark of the Covenant, Mary, who held the Word of GOD in her
womb.

Romans 5:18-19, "...Just as
through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous
act, acquittal and life came to all. For just as through the disobedience of one
person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will
be made righteous." (NAB)

Elucidation:

1. These verses describe
the relationship between Adam and Christ. 2. However they also describe the
relationship between Eve and Mary. 3. Eve was the disobedient one (Genesis
3:6), even before Adam sinned. 4. Mary was the obedient one (Luke 1:38),
even before Jesus was born.
Luke 1:46-47, 'And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit
rejoices in GOD my Savior."'

Elucidation:

1. Mary proclaims that
GOD is her savior. Why is GOD her savior since she was born without original
sin? 2. GOD can either atone for the sins of mankind, or He can prevent a
person from sinning. Either way, GOD is the Savior of that person. 3. If
someone falls into a pit, another can save him by pulling him out. Likewise, if
someone is about to fall into a pit, another can grab him, preventing him from
doing so. Either way, the second person is the savior of the first.

Revelation 11:19,"And the temple
of GOD in heaven was opened, and there was seen the ark of His covenant in His
temple..."

Revelation 12:1, "And a great sign appeared in heaven; a
woman clothed with the sun, and the moon was under
her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve
stars."

Elucidation:

1. The 'Ark of His Covenant' as seen
in heaven was not the wooden ark of the Old Testament, but the 'New Ark of the Covenant', the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is
shown by the very next verse.2. The word 'And' as the first word of Rev
12:1, ties that verse immediately to the verse preceding it, Rev 11:19.3. A
crown upon her head is the sign of a Queen.4. Twelve stars could mean, the
twelve Apostles, or the twelve tribes of Judah.5. This image of a woman clothed with the sun and a moon under her feet, fits
perfectly with the miraculous image of the Virgin of Guadalupe in 1531.6.
The 'Great Sign' is the Blessed Virgin Mary.7. The 'Woman' mentioned in Rev 12:1 is the
woman of Genesis 3:15, and of
John 2:4, and of John 19:26. She is the 'Woman' in the first book of the Bible,
and the 'Woman' in the
last book of the Bible.

Revelation 12:14, "And to the
woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she
might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a
time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the
serpent."

Elucidation:

1. The 'Woman', as already determined, is the Blessed Virgin
Mary.2. She was carried not under her own power, but of an external power
to another place.3. This fits with the Assumption.4. Time, and times, and a half time, is
mentioned in Dan 7:25, and 12:7 also.Time, is all the time from Adam until
the birth of Christ, or about 4000 years. Times is the short period of time in
which Christ walked on earth. A half time would be half of the 4000 years or
2000 years from the time of the crucifixion. We seem to be close to that time
now.

Revelation 12:17, "And the dragon
was angered at the woman, and went away to wage war
with the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of GOD, and hold fast
the testimony of Jesus."

Elucidation:

1. The dragon is the ancient serpent
of Gen 3:1-15, as shown in Rev 12:9.2. The dragon was angered at the woman, whom we know is The Blessed Virgin Mary.3. This
is shown in Gen 3:15, when GOD puts 'enmity' between the woman and the serpent.4. The Blessed Virgin Mary
is the spiritual Mother of us all as shown in John 19:27. That makes us, the
body of Christ, the rest of her offspring, who keep the commandments of
GOD, and who hold fast the testimony of Jesus. 5. Testimony of Jesus
means, 'all such declarations made by Jesus whether oral or written'.6. No
one can deny that satan is waging war right now with the Church which Jesus
Christ founded.
